I have an Olympic 2827 with Controller. The controller has 4 preprogrammed firing schedules---slow/fast bisque, slow/fast glaze. I've done my own programming for the bisque firing (mainly on the slow side) but was wondering what the difference is in the glaze firing. Why would one choose fast over slow or vice versa (sp?).

Also very fine. If it is a bit thick a fast bisque will make it explode. I take bisque up 100C per hour to 600C then flat out to !000C this works for my own usually quite fine work and my childrens classes work. I rarely get anything exploding, I am careful about air bubbles in my own work and the childrens work though.
For glaze I take it up 150C per hour to 300C then flat out to what ever temp/cone suits the clay and glaze. Annemarie
